Delhi hotel fire in Malviya Nagar

This happened just a day after a big fire at a hotel in Malviya Nagar, South Delhi, killed 21 and injured 26. That fire broke out around 8:30 am at the Flourish Stay bed-and-breakfast in Hauz Rani. There were almost 40 guests at the time, most of them still asleep. According to Delhi Police, the building had only one way in and out. The windows didn’t open at all, and the main door was controlled by a sensor. When the fire grew, people barely had any way to escape.
